Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the broth by adding beef broth, quartered onion, sliced ginger, star anise, cinnamon stick, coriander seeds, fish sauce, soy sauce, and sugar to your Instant Pot. Set to sauté mode for 5 minutes.
  2. Close the Instant Pot lid, set the valve to sealing, select Pressure Cook, and set the timer for 10 minutes.
  3. Once cooking is done, allow natural pressure release for 10 minutes and then carefully vent any remaining pressure.
  4. Add thinly sliced beef sirloin to the broth, ensure it's submerged, close the lid, and set Pressure Cook to 0 minutes.
  5. Prepare dried rice noodles according to package instructions, usually boiling for 5-7 minutes, then drain and rinse.
  6. Perform a quick pressure release again and open the lid to reveal the broth and tender beef.
  7. Divide cooked noodles into bowls and ladle hot beef and broth over them.
  8. Garnish with fresh herbs, bean sprouts, lime wedges, Thai basil, and jalapeño slices before serving.
